The Waterford on Leicester Street
Small, spotless, and personal
The things guests write about, again and again:
35 years of know-how
Paul and Trina have run hotels in Southport for over 35 years. Both are culinary trained — the experience shows in every detail.
An award-winning breakfast
Cooked fresh by Trina, our proprietor-chef, in the Victorian dining room — locally sourced, and made the way you like it.
Room to breathe
The house is laid out so no bedroom sits immediately next to another. Quiet nights, spacious rooms, superking beds.
Made for golfers
Five minutes from Royal Birkdale. Breakfast timed to your tee-off, club storage and drying, and a residents' bar for the post-round story.
Eight en-suite bedrooms
Every rate includes Wi-Fi, parking and our award-winning breakfast. Each room has an en-suite with bath and/or shower, a mini fridge, tea & coffee, a desk and a television.
Superior Lake View
Our largest rooms, overlooking the Marine Lake and the seafront beyond — two on the first floor, two on the second. Superking or twin beds.
Premium
In the Superior style, a touch smaller — one on the first floor, one on the second. Superking bed, comfortable seating, spotless as standard.
Classic
A touch smaller again, still very comfortable — superking bed, en-suite, and everything you need for a quiet night by the lake.
